ARPAD BUSSON and UMA THURMAN

The annual Absolute Return for Kids (ARK) dinner at the Royal Navel College in London was organised by Uma Thurman's businessman partner Arpad Busson in a bid to raise funds for the charity.

The event attracted a host of well-known celebrities, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie, who were serenaded by legendary singer Stevie Wonder.

Guests paid between $2,000 (GBP1,000) and $20,000 (GBP10,000)-a-head to be seated at the charity dinner.

British artist Damien Hirst auctioned off a painting at the event, which was sold for $18,000 (GBP9,000), with a speaking role in Thurman's upcoming movie Eloise going under the hammer for $960,000 (GBP480,000), according to Britain's the Daily Express.
